We’re back with another Developer Update, a series of posts detailing all the changes coming to Dead by Daylight. In this edition, we’ll cover the balance changes from the 6.2.0 Public Test Build (PTB) and other various tweaks.



Bloodweb Costs
Last month, we overhauled our progression system to make it easier than ever to earn Perks. Under this new system, Perks are now unlocked through Prestige and are immediately available to use on other characters without needing to be found in the Bloodweb. Higher tier versions of their Perks can be earned with subsequent Prestiges, or randomly throughout the Bloodweb.

Alongside these changes, we removed the Bloodpoint bonuses from two perks: Barbecue and Chili, and We’re Gonna Live Forever. As some of you have rightly pointed out, without these bonuses, you could afford few... Read more

Important Progress & save data information has been copied from the Live game to our PTB servers on August 1st. Please note that players will be able to progress for the duration of the PTB, but none of that progress will make it back to the Live version of the game.

The 6.1.2 & 6.1.3 Bugfix Patches go live today. These updates include fixes for a number of issues as well as several balance changes.

Some platforms will receive version 6.1.2 while others will jump straight to 6.1.3. These versions are largely the same with the latter including an additional fix for the Bloodweb. This will not affect crossplay: Everyone can play together, no matter which version they have!

Features Perks Thanatophobia

• Decreased the penalty per injured, dying, or hooked Survivor to 1%/1.5%/2% (was 4.5%/5%/5.5%)
  
• Added: If there are 4 injured, dying, or hooked Survivors, there is an additional 12% penalty to repair, sabotage, and Totem-cleansing speeds

Mettle of Man

Earlier this month, we launched our largest balance patch to date, making changes to 40 perks- including the meta- and various base game mechanics. With such a major shake-up, we have been keeping an extra close eye on feedback and performance since the update released to ensure that nothing gets out of hand.

Now that we’ve had a chance to see how things play out, we have prepared our first follow-up round of changes to fine tune the balance. Please note that the tweaks listed here are by no means the only changes we may make: We’ll continue monitoring and adjusting things based on your feedback.


Thanatophobia
Following the Mid-Chapter Update, Thanatophobia quickly rose in popularity, and it’s easy to see why. Between the increased numbers on the perk itself and the longer baseline generator repair times, Thanatopho... Read more
